As usual, it's all a tactic by Donald, but this one has the legal circles buzzing, because it's so beyond the pale.

 

The judge is not allowed to comment on the case, so by publicly defaming him, Donald is berating a man that cannot defend himself.  If Donald suspected the judge had a conflict of interest, he could have had his lawyers point it out before this ever got started.  But I'm pretty sure he and his lawyers had no reason to suspect him of such prejudice, so the case went forward... until it came up within 5 months of an election, and Donald started doing what he always does when he's asked some tough questions.

 

ATTACK!!

 

If it wasn't the judge's last name, it would be something else.  His height, weight, male pattern baldness, the fact that he had daughters instead of sons, or any other stupid claim to discredit someone who he has to answer to.  You'd think as often as Donald is in the courtroom, if he REALLY thought the good judge was unworthy, he'd have buried him long ago.

 

I really don't think Donald's racist.  Narcissistic, oafish, callous, boorish, ignorant, selfish, duplicitous, philandering, and dishonest, but not actually racist.  I mean, he doesn't think lesser of you because you're black, Asian, Native American, or Hispanic.  He thinks lesser of you because your last name isn't Trump.
